Important for everybody in the 9 00:00:42,47 --> 00:00:47,80 whole country and that includes of course appear in Humboldt County Keith I know 10 00:00:47,81 --> 00:00:53,22 that you are prepared and really want to let us know about some of the just the 11 00:00:53,23 --> 00:00:53,98 G.O.P. 12 00:00:54,02 --> 00:00:59,22 The Republican tax plans right the biggest thing I had to say about the G.O.P. 13 00:00:59,23 --> 00:01:06,12 Tax plan is that it's false. They have 14 00:01:06,13 --> 00:01:10,67 a trickle down theory that just doesn't work it didn't work with Reagan in the 15 00:01:10,68 --> 00:01:17,62 eighty's and it's not going to work with. The Congress in the two 16 00:01:17,63 --> 00:01:24,52 thousands in fact twenty five million families would see their 17 00:01:24,52 --> 00:01:27,96 taxes go up on the average of 18 00:01:27,97 --> 00:01:34,15 a thousand dollars Now the average tax break given to 19 00:01:34,16 --> 00:01:40,58 millionaires would be at least one hundred sixty thousand. This is their tax plan 20 00:01:40,59 --> 00:01:45,46 that they're writing right now for the November ballot as this plan is different 21 00:01:45,47 --> 00:01:49,56 than what they call the Bush tax cuts to the well it is an extension of the books 22 00:01:49,57 --> 00:01:56,43 facts cuts but it also allows them to tax the middle class families that don't make 23 00:01:56,84 --> 00:02:03,77 two hundred fifty thousand dollars or more more money to to charge. To 24 00:02:03,78 --> 00:02:09,88 take out of their taxes and no less food on the table whatever but 25 00:02:10,72 --> 00:02:15,82 they think that if they let these millionaires or quarter millionaires have these 26 00:02:15,83 --> 00:02:22,36 tax breaks that the money will trickle down to the middle class and then on top of 27 00:02:22,37 --> 00:02:29,24 that the idiocracy of it is if it does go to the middle class the 28 00:02:29,25 --> 00:02:34,85 government's going to take it away from them anyway into this so it's not even 29 00:02:34,86 --> 00:02:41,47 feasible or economic to even do you know you mention that the tax break they're 30 00:02:41,48 --> 00:02:44,02 planning the tax plan that the G.O.P. 31 00:02:44,03 --> 00:02:48,25 Is planning will affect if you have two hundred fifty thousand dollars or less 32 00:02:48,26 --> 00:02:52,09 that's going to apply to you it's going to fly you Keith isn't that that's the 33 00:02:52,10 --> 00:02:54,61 Occupy Wall Street movement had a slogan had 34 00:02:54,62 --> 00:02:59,65 a motto it was we are the ninety nine percent right and they also use that term the 35 00:02:59,66 --> 00:03:02,34 fifty thousand dollar scallop she had 36 00:03:02,35 --> 00:03:07,33 a yelling as if you're earning below that which of course has a lot of people 37 00:03:07,34 --> 00:03:09,85 a lot of people over there with all that even close to 38 00:03:09,86 --> 00:03:14,11 a working family to the husband and wife working make less than a quarter of 39 00:03:14,12 --> 00:03:21,05 a million. Yeah they they are very very specific about 40 00:03:21,06 --> 00:03:27,33 that and they use that two hundred fifty thousand dollars ceiling and I I just 41 00:03:27,34 --> 00:03:33,64 think that it's sad but there is no trickle down effect when a millionaire gets 42 00:03:33,65 --> 00:03:40,55 a tax break. Well they call it the job creators and yet the job 43 00:03:40,56 --> 00:03:44,98 there are no jobs and in fact right here that shows and then they want to plain 44 00:03:45,07 --> 00:03:49,91 they want to blame President Obama he said he hasn't done any job until you and I 45 00:03:49,92 --> 00:03:55,24 discussed this before the show up Mitch McConnell and the and the Senate and the 46 00:03:55,25 --> 00:04:01,10 House representative to. Said they did everything they can to make 47 00:04:01,14 --> 00:04:05,12 a barrack Obama one term president and P. 48 00:04:05,13 --> 00:04:11,22 To impede any progress he would do and they're winning they're doing it you know 49 00:04:11,23 --> 00:04:17,79 they're voting down his jobs bill and so forth and so on. 50 00:04:18,85 --> 00:04:24,71 There anything he's brought up I mean Obamacare had to go to the Supreme Court it 51 00:04:24,72 --> 00:04:30,03 was passed and it had to go to the Supreme Court what law do you know done by 52 00:04:30,29 --> 00:04:36,99 a president ever been to challenge the bill passed yet the 53 00:04:37,00 --> 00:04:42,13 people the House Representatives said it's wrong it has to go to the Supreme Court 54 00:04:42,14 --> 00:04:47,11 for ruling because they lost I've never heard that in history of the United States 55 00:04:47,12 --> 00:04:51,18 until now well except for the first Bush election where he was going to lose in 56 00:04:51,19 --> 00:04:55,74 Florida so they had to cry out to the Supreme Court let's help let's get let's get 57 00:04:55,75 --> 00:05:00,86 that that line straight who was Bush's campaign secretary. 58 00:05:03,19 --> 00:05:08,68 The secretary of state of Florida who controls the vote and validates the vote in 59 00:05:08,78 --> 00:05:12,23 every state that was. She was 60 00:05:12,24 --> 00:05:17,87 a Republican right and she was his campaign manager so therefore she had all the 61 00:05:17,88 --> 00:05:23,53 tools of course she won she says whatever the vote is and she signed it. Now prove 62 00:05:23,54 --> 00:05:28,88 are wrong as hard and right now the Republicans I don't say they got 63 00:05:28,89 --> 00:05:35,04 a lot smarter but with the help of that corporate funded group ALEC they have been 64 00:05:35,18 --> 00:05:35,84 passing in 65 00:05:35,85 --> 00:05:41,61 a number of states these water rights.

Putting the working these roads Richardson has 97 00:08:03,34 --> 00:08:07,57 voted restrictions are I think they're more in the south and then the no 98 00:08:07,61 --> 00:08:12,75 interaction is there or not it's Ohio Pennsylvania Florida Alabama 99 00:08:13,93 --> 00:08:20,24 Georgia I don't think Louisiana has gotten that crazy yet don't don't get me wrong 100 00:08:20,25 --> 00:08:25,79 I'm not accurate on that but I do know it in Pennsylvania I do know it's in Ohio I 101 00:08:25,80 --> 00:08:31,24 do know it's in Massachusetts and I do know it's in Florida. It might even be in 102 00:08:31,25 --> 00:08:36,99 South Carolina but those are Republican heavy States and that's why if they don't 103 00:08:37,00 --> 00:08:41,96 get the vote if they don't get the popular vote the electoral vote will have to go 104 00:08:41,97 --> 00:08:48,87 the other way. Because regardless of who votes for. President you and 105 00:08:48,88 --> 00:08:55,56 I we only count to make our Aleck Tauriel vote count. The 106 00:08:55,57 --> 00:09:02,20 electorate Alexa president the electoral college yet the Electoral College and that 107 00:09:02,21 --> 00:09:06,56 Electoral College the history of that it was I forget the exact phrase but it was 108 00:09:06,57 --> 00:09:12,51 a dastardly compromise with the slave owning states and the right to give them 109 00:09:12,52 --> 00:09:16,44 a little more power and the first four or five presidents of the United States came 110 00:09:16,45 --> 00:09:22,47 from southern slave owning states right it really needs to be redone be redone it 111 00:09:22,48 --> 00:09:23,15 doesn't need to be 112 00:09:23,16 --> 00:09:28,36 a lot of this needs to be revamped California lucky though we don't have to have 113 00:09:28,37 --> 00:09:33,48 a photo ID In fact you can go and just sign your name now there was something if 114 00:09:33,49 --> 00:09:37,46 there was somebody that beat you to it and tried to fraud you yeah you show photo 115 00:09:37,47 --> 00:09:37,74 I.D. 116 00:09:37,75 --> 00:09:42,04 But you're right when the California were lucky and the voter suppression tactics 117 00:09:42,05 --> 00:09:47,36 won't work they did work and they did work in Arizona I know that for 118 00:09:47,36 --> 00:09:54,11 a fact. One of the things speaking about our lovely Congressman and House of 119 00:09:54,13 --> 00:09:55,68 Representatives is 120 00:09:55,68 --> 00:10:01,11 a little known fact. They are getting ready to take their five week paid vacation 121 00:10:01,15 --> 00:10:07,29 paid by who us the taxpayers. True enough Donald you and I both believe they were 122 00:10:07,33 --> 00:10:12,49 on vacation and he was it worth doing what they could not voting and whatever so 123 00:10:12,50 --> 00:10:17,01 the bills don't get passed but yesterday yesterday in American history was 124 00:10:17,02 --> 00:10:23,68 a very. Big moment women are now Birth control is taking care of 125 00:10:24,02 --> 00:10:30,23 rights for abortion so forth and so on well as is the rest of the the Congress goes 126 00:10:30,24 --> 00:10:33,92 the G.O.P. Is meeting behind closed doors and they're working on 127 00:10:33,93 --> 00:10:40,89 a bill to prevent rape and incest victims from getting an abortion 128 00:10:41,97 --> 00:10:46,04 I think that that's just totally absurd I think if they're working on 129 00:10:46,05 --> 00:10:48,86 a bill to prevent that if 130 00:10:48,87 --> 00:10:53,63 a woman was raped or incest really raped and sprayed it doesn't want the baby 131 00:10:53,64 --> 00:10:58,38 because she you know something might happen to it who is it for the Republican 132 00:10:58,42 --> 00:11:02,95 Congress like Republican House of Representatives to say this woman has no right to 133 00:11:02,96 --> 00:11:09,13 do that. That I mean that's what I call that an abomination and it should be 134 00:11:09,14 --> 00:11:13,91 a criminal you know the women are not doing that well in the United States now 135 00:11:13,95 --> 00:11:17,26 general they're still making seventy seven cents to the dollar for a job that 136 00:11:17,27 --> 00:11:23,77 a man makes and. I don't know what happened with the 137 00:11:24,08 --> 00:11:27,77 relationship with the Catholic bishops that allowed them even though they get 138 00:11:27,78 --> 00:11:33,33 federal funding let's say but they can still opt out of providing. Abortion 139 00:11:33,34 --> 00:11:39,17 a preventative technology as well you know for so you know if. It's yours. 140 00:11:40,09 --> 00:11:45,40 As much as we are trying to live in the new millennium there's 141 00:11:45,41 --> 00:11:51,84 a lot of old very old relations all that are trying to come from Calgary Jim Crow 142 00:11:51,85 --> 00:11:58,68 days Woman Suffrage you know it's like you know they complain about the 143 00:11:58,69 --> 00:12:03,40 Supreme Court or the Republicans love to bring up the Supreme Court. Let's look at 144 00:12:03,41 --> 00:12:07,88 the abortion it wasn't a law it was made a Supreme Court ruling to be 145 00:12:07,89 --> 00:12:13,95 a law Roe versus Wade so that's lapping the Supreme Court and face tell you now we 146 00:12:13,96 --> 00:12:15,32 don't care what you said we're writing 147 00:12:15,33 --> 00:12:21,34 a new bill well the Supreme Court is not always the sacrosanct tentacle of 148 00:12:21,35 --> 00:12:27,78 arbitrary justice and United Way Well it isn't and which. I was going to just segue 149 00:12:27,79 --> 00:12:31,90 for a moment there into saying it that's why it's important to have 150 00:12:32,70 --> 00:12:36,17 a president who's going to stand up for the people because the president appoints 151 00:12:36,18 --> 00:12:43,08 a Supreme Court members that is sure. I agree with that totally I mean the 152 00:12:43,10 --> 00:12:46,87 most ridiculous thing I've read recently about the Supreme Court was of course 153 00:12:46,88 --> 00:12:53,50 lovely judge Anthony's Ilia where he said that handguns should be carried 154 00:12:54,33 --> 00:12:58,37 and what we deem a handgun is not a cannon but yet 155 00:12:58,38 --> 00:13:01,73 a handheld rocket launcher that can take down 156 00:13:01,74 --> 00:13:08,71 a plane and has taken down planes in history. A Pan Am flight coming out of 157 00:13:08,72 --> 00:13:09,39 Scotland was 158 00:13:09,40 --> 00:13:16,07 a handheld guys terrorists that shot down so forth and so on.

He's then gone over to Israel 241 00:20:22,17 --> 00:20:29,00 and compared the Palestinians to that is Israelis like 242 00:20:29,01 --> 00:20:35,90 they had the same equal opportunities until recent years to.

Of Palestine is not 247 00:20:58,15 --> 00:21:04,78 a state right now and there have been Right now there is this boycott that embargo 248 00:21:04,79 --> 00:21:10,99 of goods and medicine yeah getting to now that the bank. The 249 00:21:11,22 --> 00:21:17,34 I have opinionated about about the Palestinian Israeli situation and I feel that 250 00:21:18,06 --> 00:21:22,33 it's been since almost one hundred forty nine certainly since my home because they 251 00:21:22,34 --> 00:21:28,57 haven't spent the. Palestinians have been dispossessed and well you know 252 00:21:29,47 --> 00:21:32,51 the whole West Bank and Gaza really is like it is 253 00:21:32,52 --> 00:21:38,29 a big ghetto in terms of people but it there there's just lack of opportunity in 254 00:21:38,30 --> 00:21:40,04 jobs and and that's 255 00:21:40,05 --> 00:21:44,37 a very hard but and that's what Mitt Romney was comparing it making it sound like 256 00:21:44,38 --> 00:21:51,38 that it was an equal footing that the Israelis and the Palestinians had and even 257 00:21:51,48 --> 00:21:56,62 Israel economists for like what are you talking about you know no they're 258 00:21:56,63 --> 00:22:03,35 subjugated basically to us and how can you compare their income versus orange.

With the man and we said this before the show. 290 00:24:28,62 --> 00:24:32,30 Jay Leno said it and I think it's really great that America really need to 291 00:24:32,31 --> 00:24:37,98 understand this do you know why there's no vice presidential candidate running 292 00:24:37,99 --> 00:24:42,84 along Mitt I mean come on that's back when Sarah Palin says Hey John McCain's 293 00:24:42,85 --> 00:24:45,86 a way better candidate than you there's no way I'm going to sign off on your credit 294 00:24:45,87 --> 00:24:47,77 John McCain said that that Sarah Palin was 295 00:24:47,78 --> 00:24:53,74 a better. Mom you know was take you know Vice President and the second part about 296 00:24:53,75 --> 00:25:00,38 that that I enjoy is exactly what Jay Leno said people 297 00:25:00,42 --> 00:25:02,89 understand this do you know why he doesn't have 298 00:25:02,90 --> 00:25:08,18 a vice presidential candidate because he has to hire an American and he only 299 00:25:08,19 --> 00:25:13,97 outsources I think so so that's that's another thing. 300 00:25:15,78 --> 00:25:20,41 Well it's you know it's the comedians that make us laugh at which there were two or 301 00:25:20,42 --> 00:25:25,01 two off we're told to cry but I saw a poster of Jon Stewart and and 302 00:25:25,02 --> 00:25:30,56 a cobra So yeah the sad thing is that we are the best news release in America Yes I 303 00:25:30,57 --> 00:25:34,93 saw that too and that's true just one of another thing that he did real quick 304 00:25:34,94 --> 00:25:41,02 before we have to get off the air is John Stewart showed the London mayor talking 305 00:25:41,03 --> 00:25:43,57 about it and he says you know of London as 306 00:25:43,58 --> 00:25:48,86 a financial bustling metropolitan A We're still holding in the Olympics it's not in 307 00:25:48,87 --> 00:25:54,25 the middle of nowhere John Stewart put up the four corner states and said wrong 308 00:25:54,26 --> 00:26:01,05 Mayor we are in the north east corner of nowhere and that's where the Salt Lake 309 00:26:01,06 --> 00:26:07,90 City Olympics were that's right that's right. All I really would like to close with 310 00:26:07,91 --> 00:26:14,03 is the fact that people there are two things you have to get out there and vote and 311 00:26:14,04 --> 00:26:17,20 those of you that really think of believing that Romney's going to do 312 00:26:17,21 --> 00:26:24,11 a better job than Obama or do more for you than Obama that's dead wrong true 313 00:26:24,12 --> 00:26:28,41 enough it starts with our House of Representatives and we need to get those 314 00:26:28,42 --> 00:26:33,88 Republicans out but Mitt Romney is 315 00:26:33,92 --> 00:26:36,52 a racist 316 00:26:36,83 --> 00:26:43,57 a sexist he doesn't believe women should have the power of. A. Greedy 317 00:26:43,60 --> 00:26:46,55 man period. To me he's 318 00:26:46,56 --> 00:26:51,96 a straight talker I mean because he keeps saying what Obama didn't do well Obama 319 00:26:51,96 --> 00:26:57,44 had help and not doing that because the Republican Congress kept shooting 320 00:26:57,45 --> 00:27:03,51 everything he brought to the table down and when you people realize that. Then 321 00:27:03,72 --> 00:27:07,65 let's start with the problem lies it doesn't lie in our president it lives in our 322 00:27:07,66 --> 00:27:13,01 like the House of Representatives and we have to start there but yet have 323 00:27:13,02 --> 00:27:18,07 a president like you said that supports the American people so when things get to 324 00:27:18,08 --> 00:27:22,83 the Supreme Court it's not looked at one way or the other it's looked at the 325 00:27:22,84 --> 00:27:24,76 fairness for more people now 326 00:27:25,65 --> 00:27:31,41 a bomber was talking in his run up for the election that he said you know you have 327 00:27:31,42 --> 00:27:35,99 to hold me accountable you have to put the pressure on me and wanted to get things 328 00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:42,97 done and I think we were all those who voted for him were kind of euphoric and 329 00:27:42,98 --> 00:27:48,73 thinking you know the first black president and compared to George W. 330 00:27:48,74 --> 00:27:55,40 Bush. An intelligent person. But that is I think 331 00:27:55,41 --> 00:28:00,86 a weakness of our system is that what I call the civil society which is the 332 00:28:00,87 --> 00:28:07,39 community of all of us we get agitated and excited every four years and 333 00:28:07,40 --> 00:28:13,34 we get involved and we vote but the rest of the time we sort of sit back and that's 334 00:28:13,35 --> 00:28:19,19 I think that time is changed now I agree with that and with that 335 00:28:20,20 --> 00:28:25,68 I guess we'll talk again hopefully soon Yes Q Very. 336 00:28:26,87 --> 00:28:30,57 Informative and pleasurable so good mine To All right thank you thank you very much 337 00:28:30,58 --> 00:28:34,70 OK well this is out here in the redwoods and I hope you've been enjoying 338 00:28:34,71 --> 00:28:38,43 a show with kids and Robin Donald.
